Lesson 6 Reteach Solve Proportional Relationships A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equivalent. To determine whether a pair of ratios forms a proportion, use cross products. You can also use cross products to solve proportions.

Example 1 20 12 Determine whether the pair of ratios −− and −− form a proportion. 24 18 Find the cross products. 12  24 · 12 = 288 20 −−  −− 24 18  20 · 18 = 360

Since the cross products are not equal, the ratios do not form a proportion.

Example 2 k 12 Solve −− = −− . 30 70 k 12 −− = −− 30 70

Write the equation.

12 · 70 = 30 · k

Find the cross products.

840 = 30k

Multiply.

840 30k −−− = −−−

Divide each side by 30.
